There is a search facility on the opening page. I haven`t tried it. Perhaps you have to be registered to use it - I am not - because it doesn`t seem to work for me at present.

I`m not registered either, and it didn`t work for me either (at least in the way I tried it).

I don`t remember a reason for your nom-de-plume (Arak), but I guess it really isn`t a requirement that I should know why anyone calls themselves whatever they call themselves (although I do so like information, if you are inclined to provide it!).

The main thing is, we don`t have to worry about any confusion between a Kara vs. an Arak post. Both of you have very distinctive styles, each with their own merit. I appreciate you both!

Thank you Kippsix!
To anyone that even thought that Arak and Kara are the same, I can assure you that we are not. A good part of the time we have completely differenct opinions, so I would really have to wonder why anyone would have even suggested that one??

I am back after a month long break!!! I have been reading the old posts and I guess I have not missed too much-I certiantly DID miss everyone; especially KC, Kara and Arak!!! (Sorry, Arak, someone had to be last on the list!!!) Did the forum get that thing with Dustin fixed? Anything that I should know since July 4th (my last post)? My computer choose a brilliant time to fail on me and I can`t buy a new one until this fall, so I am sorry if you do not hear much from me until September-I assume that `my funds shall be sufficient` then and that I will have my new system. (I was hit with a Sasser virus, and my virus program had taken a `vacation`, in case anyone was wondering...) So, I have commendeered a friend`s computer for the next day or two.
I can`t imagine all my emails!
Sorry, I am sooooo off topic!!! My sincere apologies!!!

Don`t worry about being overwhelmed by playing the flute-it seems like a difficult thing at first, but you will fall into it sooner or later; like a person falling into a puddle-it will happen! I am teaching my sister right now and she can sometimes be so confused that she will become frusterated and says that she will quit, but she keeps going! That`s just what you`ll have to do! Playing an instrument is one of life`s double edged swords, you know... It will all pay off in the end.

(I am sorry if my response is odd in any way, shape or form; my mind is in a million places at once right now...)

And as an experienced forum member, Arak and Kara are not the same person!!! Arak and I have fought, Kara and I have not! Sorry again, Arak, no hard feelings!

Oh, okay. I see know where you have been. If I would have read in the next post, I would have figured that out. Sorry to hear about your computer. People suck!! What kind of person would plant viruses in computers! Sick!
Spammers are horrible too!! I don`t know how many emails I get a day from spammers from the UK or Nigeria.
Anway... I am glad that you had a chance to check in. Not much has really happened. (Unless you include Arak and me at at war again.) Lol!!

Hey, Kara!!!I am so sorry to say that Arak and I are at war again also and I have bearly been back a day! I have so many things going on that I can`t respond until it all smooths over and that will definetly be over this fall. Even if I wanted to respond, I got a call from my computer `shop` and was told that my system is on back order!!!! and there is nothing I can do to make it arrive sooner. In case you did not see my post in an earlier thread, I have to leave for a while, but I think I will be back...It is so nice to see that you are happy I am back!!! I wish you the best of luck with Arak, and anyone else who crosses his path, and keep up your humor! I look forward to talking with you in the fall!!! (Yes, and people DO suck-it is rare that you find a person who doesnt!)

It is interesting that presentation of backed-up views and sound information constitutes `war`. I, for one, am not at war in this forum. Heaven help the planet if people/countries resort to war so readily.

"Yes, and people DO suck-it is rare that you find a person who doesnt!"

Hmmm. Perhaps, just perhaps, that says more about the person saying it.

Hi Jessie. Nice to see you back.
I hope that you are able to get a new computer soon.

Arak, BE NICE!
